Perl Mysql - install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load mysql.dll

Hi all,

I am installing Bugzilla3 on a windowsXP box together with Mysql5.0.45
and ActivePerl-5.8.8.820. It passed the checksetup and created the
database. However, when I point my Firefox to http://localhost/ I got
the following error:

install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load
'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.dll' for module DBD::mysql:
load_file:The specified module could not be found at
C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
at (eval 34) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 34) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected
at Bugzilla/DB.pm line 902

Googled it and tried to uninstall DBI and DBD-mysql package, problem
didn't go away... any hint?
